Speakers & Special Guests

Our Special Guest:

Agent 1123 – Gemini Brett

Our special guest this year is Gemini Brett Agent 1123, from Seattle USA.Agent 1123 – Gemini Brett – As a certifiable StarryTeller, Gemini Brett devotes his Now as a living vow to the Marriage of Heaven and Earth. Looking back, Gemini Brett’s path to our Starry Science is easy to behold. Wasn’t he simply attempting to become a star himself while following his saxophone around the globe? Subsequent years redirected Brett’s quest to the principles of aeronautical engineering, but fortunately a strange 2012 awakening broke him free from academia’s mold. Since Gemini spied Jupiter at his Ascendant from the Jungles of Peru, studying and teaching the Sky is all he can do. Agent 1123 made his C*I*A appointment official on 23/1/1 (that’s 2017) with the launch of “Arts of the Chart,” a devotional dance with Astrology choreographed by the Sacred Sciences known as the Quadrivium: Number in Nature, Sacred Geometry, Musical Harmony, and Astronomy. Whether you are new to the Starry Study or have been practicing for years or lifetimes, this journey is certain to be a blast.You can find other inspiring videos, podcasts, and writings in Location: Seattle- USA Website – MoreThanAstrology.com Facebook – Facebook.com/ArtsOfTheChart
